Chapter 395: The palace is besieged

"Didn't you interrogate those entourage?"

Xie Gui listened and said angrily.

Ni Liang hurriedly said,

"Of course, the subordinates interrogated, and also tortured and tortured several pro-soldiers, and finally someone confessed that two people came last night, looking for Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng I don't know what to say, and then I saw the two of them change into civilian clothes and follow the people out of the camp, so I didn't see them come back."

"Could it be that someone tipped them off?"

Xie Gui exclaimed, but after thinking about it again, it is impossible, the decision to arrest these two people was made only temporarily last night, and only he and Zhang Yu knew, how could someone know the news and notify them so quickly?

Bian Bai was puzzled, Xie Gui said,

"Okay, you immediately take people to Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's headquarters camp again, control all the places, and once you see the two of them come back, you don't have to say anything, take them down."

"Subordinates obey!"

Ni Liang knelt down and took the order to leave.

Xie Gui wandered in the tent for a while, and said secretly, could it be that Zhang Yu made a mistake?

With such suspicions, he immediately put down everything he had, took four personal soldiers, and rode to the city on a fast horse to see Zhang Yu.

And Zhang Hao's side is not having a good time, since he received the secret order, he always feels panicked in his heart-

In his heart, he was still a little afraid of Zhu Di, because he had heard too much about that prince. When I was in the court, I also saw King Yan, looking at it from afar, I always felt that there was some kind of inviolable temperament exuded in that person, from this point of view, King Yan gave people a sense of oppression, no worse than the first emperor, which is incomparable to anyone.

Now that the court has let itself arrest his subordinates, if King Yan himself is not captured, it is not easy to do it, but if King Yan is captured, it seems that it is not easy to do it......

When he was sitting here and worrying, Xie Gui, who had just left here in the morning, came again.

"This, why is Lord Xie back? Is something wrong? ”

Zhang Hao asked in surprise.

Xie Gui still looked puzzled and replied,

"Yes, Lord Zhang, it's not strange that you say it's weird, I sent someone to arrest Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng early this morning, but who knew that they escaped last night."

"What?"

Zhang Hao looked even more surprised than him,

"Last night? How can it be! Didn't you and I just agree last night, can they have a good ear and can hear us in the western suburbs? ”

"This official is also strange,"

Xie Gui guessed,

"Someone was overhearing us when we were talking, right?"

"Lord Xie is saying that the people in my house have leaked the news,"

Zhang Hao said with some displeasure,

"You must know that the people around me are all brought from the capital, and they will not have any dealings with the garrison in Beiping at all, and there is no possibility of giving them a message."

"yes,"

Xie Gui also remembered something,

"Even if there were, the gates were closed at that time, and they couldn't get out of the city last night, but what the hell is going on?"

"Alright, let's stop speculating here,"

Zhang Yu glanced at him and said,

"Why don't you and I use manpower together, in the name of the two of them leaving their posts without permission, to search the whole city, I am in charge of the city, you are in charge of the outside of the city, to see if we can find them or find some clues or something."

"Okay, it's up to you."

After the two men had discussed it, they began to go their separate ways.

Not to mention, this search really found some whereabouts, and the colonel who guarded the city gate recalled that a few days ago he seemed to see two generals entering the city in civilian clothes.

"Into the city?"

At first glance, both men reacted with the same surprise.

It stands to reason that if Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng got any news and absconded, they should have run as far as possible, but now why not only did they not escape, but they entered the city? But if they just happened to go into the city to do something, but they didn't see them go back to the barracks, they were completely gone, could it be ......

Zhang Yu and Xie Gui reacted at the same time and said in unison,

"Yanwang Mansion!"

That's right, they must have been hiding in the Yan King's Mansion.

Although I don't know how King Yan got the news, judging from the current situation, it can only be explained in this way.

But no matter how reasonable it is, after all, there is no evidence to prove that these two defected guys are in the Yan Wangfu, and that palace is not something that can be searched if you want to, how can this be good? The two of them began to worry again.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao's mind flashed with an idea,

"By the way, isn't the emperor's secret decree for us to monitor all the subordinates and cronies in King Yan's mansion? We might as well find some random people in the palace, and say that they are suspected of plotting against each other, and come to arrest them. We have the emperor's edict in our hands, even if it is King Yan, he doesn't dare to stop it, doesn't he? ”

"That's a great idea, my lord."

Xie Gui said yes repeatedly.

Immediately, Zhang Yu asked people to check the list of local officials, because even the official attachés in the prince's palace were subordinate to the establishment of the imperial court, so they had to be filed with the government officials. The two of them searched together for a long time, and finally made a large list of subordinates in the Yanwang Mansion who "plotted against the law", which can be regarded as a sigh of relief-

It seems that it is not an easy job to do things for the emperor, and it is even more difficult to clean up a very famous uncle for the emperor......

With this "rebellion list", Zhang Yu and Xie Gui each brought their servants and personal soldiers, a total of no less than 5,000 people, and rushed to the Yan Palace, and then gave an order to surround the entire palace.

Xie Gui urged the horse to come to the front of the team and said in a loud voice,

"Be careful with me, don't let anyone go!"

"Order!"

His generals and officers were scattered and guarded in various places.

Zhang Yu came to the door of the palace with the edict in his hand and said loudly,

"This official is Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping Mansion, who came to arrest the rebels by holy order, and asked His Royal Highness King Yan to open the door of the mansion!"

The gate of this Yanwang Mansion has been tightly closed since Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng entered the mansion, and even if there is something to enter and exit, it is only through the corner gate next to it.

Today, a large number of officers and officials came in the direction of the palace, and the entire Beiping City was alarmed, of course, Zhu Di had already received the report, and immediately ordered people to close all the palace doors, and ordered Bai Qing to take the hundred guards of the palace to guard everywhere.

As soon as the arrangements were made, shouts began to be shouted outside the palace gate, and then loud shouts began to rise from all around the palace, which meant to announce, "You have been surrounded, and it is impossible to escape!" ”

The people in the palace were nervous, Bai Qing asked people to go in and inform His Royal Highness King Yan of Zhang Yu's words, and at the same time climbed the wall of the palace along the protective ladder, and said,

"It turned out that the two adults had arrived, and they were polite. It's just that I don't know why you two sent troops to surround this palace? ”

"Who are you?"

Xie Gui looked at him and asked.
